Lake Chicot State Park

"I've seen nothing but incredible reviews about this park. But I was sorely disappointed. Most of the campsites were closed permanently, or under renovation. There was recent rain and flooding, so there was standing water everywhere. It was cloudy so we didn't get to see the sunset that I had hoped for. We did some kayaking across the lake and through the Cypress trees, which was kind of cool. But that's always better in the summer if you want to run into wildlife. The lady at the front desk was less than welcoming and barely spoke to us despite our attempts to start conversation."

"The cabins have been renovated inside, there's a concrete walking path in the woods, looks like a new pool area also for the summer. Was an enjoyable weekend"

"My grandparents come here multiple time during the year to fish. They have been coming here for many years now. The lake is beautiful and the park is nice. But I wish they would clean up the walking paths. I was going to walk my kids down one that has the steps down to a bridge then back up the steps but it was overgrown. Needs cleaning up. Also wish they would fix up their Geocache box on that bridge. We were disappointed to find it not being maintained."

"Beautiful park our site had a great view of the lake. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable."

"Spolier alert! I've seen the plans, this park is going under a major renovation in the very near future with updated camping spots, fish cleaning station, restrooms, playground and walking trail. Exciting times for this park ahead! As it is now, this park is nice as it sits right on the lake. Has a boat ramp with a bait shop next to it. Area (A) is probably the newest loop with sites more spread out. This loop is also next to the boat ramp and bait shop. There is a fishing dock located here also. Area (F) is right on the lake. These sites are closer together. There is a boat dock at this location that can house many boats. Free for campers to use. Shore fishing here would be hard at area (F) as the bank is grown up. Area (A) would be no problem to shore fish as the bank is clean and mowed. The older restrooms are shut down, newer ones are open. They were very clean and also had showers. And.... this park has a pool!"
